Instead of pursuing their dreams of a bright future, many youths in Gaza are ending up with their dreams shattered due to the escalating Palestine-Israel conflict.
Nineteen-year-old Mohammed Al Bahri from Gaza City is one of them.
Mohammed was a high school graduate with excellent grades and was successfully admitted to a local medical college last year. He had hopes of becoming a doctor after graduating from the college. Unfortunately, his dream and university life were both cut short after suffering a debilitating injury from as missile strike.
In February, Mohammed, the only boy and also pillar in his family, ventured out to find some food together with several other youths, but was hit by Israeli drone missile attacks.
One of Mohammed's companions was killed on the site, and he himself was seriously injured.
"I started running with a sense of extreme fear and panic, trying to escape to a safe place with my friends. I tried to avoid being tracked by the drone. But when I was running down the street, another drone fired a missile at me. The explosion blew me away and got me falling heavily to the ground. I screamed loudly in pain. It was so painful. I tried to stand up but found that my leg was seriously injured with broken bones, and was bleeding profusely. Five minutes later, another missile hit me," he said.
The attack cost Mohammed his right leg, but his ordeal did not end there.
Since October this year, the Israel Defense Forces continued to increase military operations in northern Gaza, including Beit Lahia, where Mohammed lived.
Mohammed had no choice but to embark on the road to escape.
"We walked on and on until we met Israeli soldiers. They treated me like an able-bodied person, completely disregarding my injury. They checked me with a scanner, then told me to go south. I walked from the Indonesia Hospital to Gaza City. I walked for three hours because of the injury," he said.
Now, Mohammed is no longer able to engage in heavy physical labor and can only rely on the meager income earned from a small booth to eke out a living for his family.
"This war completely affected my life. I have nothing now. The road to healing is long and arduous. My dreams have been shattered," he added.
